"Keynes's Great Barrier Reef is famous. When we travel to Australia, we are going to visit the Great Barrier Reef to catch the high winds at sea. We can only go to the Green Island and really feel the sea waves of Keynes. We can only wait for another time."

"The Great Barrier Reef is divided into an inner barrier reef and an outer barrier reef. The difference is that the inner barrier reef is closer to Cairns, but the coral and seawater scenery is far less than that of the outer barrier reef. The outer barrier reef is farther from Cairns and the Moore Reef is the outer barrier reef water that is closest to Cairns. Very crystal clear blue, clear and highly visible, the colorful coral reef is located on a bed of fine white sand on the seabed. Whether you are sitting on a helicopter and overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef or diving into the seabed to watch various tropical fish shuttle between the corals, it is a wonderful sight."

"Please cherish nature and protect the environment. Seeing so many bleached corals on the Great Barrier Reef is really sad to save energy and reduce emissions. It is everyone's business to reduce global warming. Also, you don't need sunscreen in the sea! Sunscreen is fatal to corals, and it will dilute in the sea immediately after entering the water"

"It is a 6,000-year-old sand island with a population of seabirds, about 10 kilometers long. It is not only a marine life reserve, but also a protected wild base for migrating seabirds, and is the most famous wildlife habitat in the southern hemisphere. It is surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef and magnificent corals and huge shellfish marine life. There are abundant fish species under the water, and the sea is crystal clear. The protected coral reef always hides tropical fish. It is very suitable for snorkeling or deep diving activities to watch corals and tropical fish. Clownfish are always frolicking here, and when someone approaches them, they will be disturbed by them. The Great Barrier Reef on Maclassar Island in Australia is one of the largest and longest coral reef islands in the world. The northeast coast of Australia is a miracle in the world. Starting from the main gateways of Cairns or Whitsunday, you can also start from the Gold Coast to visit the Great Barrier Reef of Macleanssa Island. You can take a cruise or plane to see the essence of the Great Barrier Reef and overlook the different magnificent landscapes of the Great Barrier Reef"

"Lizard Island is a beautiful island off the coast of Cairns. Many species of lizards live on the island. Although they look a little scary, they are actually very docile. They often sunbath on the beach, which is very good."

"If the weather permits, or if you have the opportunity to go out during the holidays, please do not hesitate to come here. The coral reef here is an amazing goddess reef. You can go out and walk around the sand reef, and you will have no worries about life during the day."
